SX Arietis variable

SX Arietis variables are a class of variable stars. They are generally B-type main sequence stars of spectral types B0p to B9p— high-temperature analogues of Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variables—and exhibit strong magnetic fields and intense He I and Si III spectral lines.[1] They have brightness fluctuations of approximately 0.1 magnitudes with periods of about one day. The prototype of this class is 56 Arietis, which bears the variable star designation SX Arietis.

Notes

also an eclipsing binary

gollark: Hmm, I could actually make infipage work with the service worker thing by implementing the rewrite-rule logic on the client.

gollark: It might also™ be possible to have it cache *all* the site on every website update, but that would be a bit wasteful.

gollark: This™ does have the minor disadvantage that™ you'll need to refresh the page™ to receive site updates™ sometimes™, so that™ it loads the service worker™ again to detect™ the new™ version.

gollark: If you visit a page, it will now use magic™ to cache it locally, and then serve that local copy until it detects that the site has been updated, and that will continue to work even without an Internet connection with cached pages.

gollark: Good news! I fixed the service worker setup, so you can now use osmarks.tk offline (ish).
